Just Keep Writing: March 30, 2023 - Thursday Threads

 Welcome! I'm happy you chose to take the scenic route on this fine Thursday. While the date is truly shocking to me, meaning the month of March has just flown by, I'm looking forward to running another edit on the second book in my fantasy series. More on that in tomorrow's post, though. Today, I've got a wonderful word prompt to share with you. 

Just Keep Writing: Thursday Threads

If this is your first time participating in this kind of writing exercise, you're in for a treat. If you've done this with me before, just keep scrolling for the prompt.

Rules:

1. You can use any/all of the words and/or the photo in the prompt below to create a unique written work. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose, even lyrics are acceptable.  
2. Please keep the material you write clean (ie. nothing R-rated or worse) if you wish to share the link to your work here, as well as if you link back to my site. I strive to keep my site free of such things. My readers know and expect this. I respect your right to write whatever you feel you need to write. And you're free to use my prompts. But if your material is graphic, I'd rather not view it, and most of my readers will not wish to. 
3. Have fun! This type of exercise is perfect for growing in the writing craft, or for helping through a rough patch in your current WIP. If you're looking to push your author limits and you normally write in nonfiction prose, try a whimsical collection of lyrics. If you normally write poems about real life events, try your hand at a fanfic. Give yourself some room to explore.

Don't forget to leave a link to your creation (unless you're writing graphic material) so my readers and I can check out your work. I'd appreciate a link back to this post to help me reach more readers, but it's not required. 

Today's words are:

Unfortunate 

 Theorist  

 Suffer

Ouch! These words don't inspire me to write pleasant stories. Perhaps that could be the challenge for me, though. Taking negative words and turning the story positive would be fun, I think. How will you use these words?

 Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. I hope you enjoyed the time you spent here, and that you don't feel you wasted that time. Happy writing and creating! 

If you return tomorrow, I'll share some of my plans for April and have another prompt for you. This week's been another time of adjustment, as we've started going to the gym as a family. I haven't had much time to edit, so I can't promise there'll be another short story for you to read. I'll try, though. 

Until next time,
